RECOVERY and GOD

Individuals addicted to alcohol or drugs experience a life that is thrown off-balance by addiction. Their families are torn apart. Their bodies grow sick. They often find themselves unable to perform at work or school. Social contacts may dwindle too only those who will abuse alcohol or drugs with them.

But even more common and pervasive than any of these is that the alcoholic/addict becomes alienated from God. The founder of Alcoholics Anonymous recognized this fact and built a 12 step program, a program which has changed the lives of millions of people around the world upon clear spiritual principals.

The staff of Hope for Freedom offer two distinct, yet overlapping program tracts; Christian and traditional. The Christian track offers a Christ - Centered, biblical approach to recovery, while the traditional track presents recovery based on God, as the individual may understand Him (as presented in AA / NA.)

Clients may chose the Christian or traditional program track, which is most comfortable for them and may change tracks at any time during their treatment. Groups that address the medical or physical basis of addiction are blended, while those groups dealing with life skill, anger management, spiritual skills and psychotherapy are separated.

The staff of Hope for Freedom believe that a strong spiritual foundation is essential to an effective recovery program, and that the nature of that spiritual foundation is revealed in the quality of each client's relationship with God. We encourage and nurture the Christian and the traditional program tracts.
